  • Publication number: 20240003986
    Abstract: A connection detection device and a connection detection method for detecting a connection state between a first connector and a second connector are provided. The first connector includes detection pins. The second connector includes loop pins corresponding to the detection pins. The connection detection device includes a bias voltage generator, a detection circuit, and a processor. The bias voltage generator applies a reference bias voltage to the detection pins. The detection circuit detects bias values on the detection pins. When each bias value is shifted to a first bias value based on a connection loop formed between the detection pins and the loop pins, the detection circuit provides a first detection signal. When at least one of the bias values is not shifted to the first bias value, the detection circuit provides a second detection signal. The processor provides an alarm signal in response to the second detection signal.

    Abstract: An interactive rear projection system including a projection screen, a projection optical engine, an input device and a controller is provided. The projection optical engine emits a projection beam which is projected on the projection screen. The input device includes a sensor and a first light source both disposed on a first side of the projection screen. The controller is electrically connected to the projection optical engine, the sensor, and the first light source and controls the first light source to project a first beam toward the projection screen. When an object approaches a second side of the projection screen, the sensor senses a light spot generated by the first beam diffusely reflected by the object and recognizes a position of the object or a position where the object touches the projection screen according to the light spot.

  • Patent number: 8735738
    Abstract: A printed circuit board grounding structure for use with a communication apparatus is configured for use with a printed circuit board to contact a grounded casing and thereby form a grounded circuit capable of electromagnetic wave shielding. The printed circuit board ground structure includes a copper conductive layer and a plurality of solder contacts. The copper conductive layer is circumferentially disposed along the periphery of the printed circuit board. The solder contacts are disposed on the copper conductive layer and used for electrically contacting with the casing. The printed circuit board grounding structure prevents deterioration of electromagnetic wave shielding despite oxidation of the copper conductive layer. The circumferentially-disposed copper conductive layer blocks electromagnetic wave generated from inside the printed circuit board, prevents leakage of the electromagnetic wave, and ultimately prevents the electromagnetic wave from interfering with other electronic apparatuses.

  • Patent number: 8599527
    Abstract: An overvoltage protection circuit and a portable electronic device having the same are introduced. The overvoltage protection circuit provides overvoltage protection when an input voltage exceeds a rated voltage tolerable by an internal circuit unit in the portable electronic device. A reference voltage and a partial voltage are generated from the input voltage through a voltage limiting unit and voltage dividing module, respectively, and conveyed to a comparing module for comparison. Comparison of the reference voltage and the partial voltage is followed by generation of a switch signal whereby a switch unit determines whether to apply the input voltage to the internal circuit unit. The voltage dividing module sets the maximum rated voltage tolerable by the internal circuit unit and enables the overvoltage protection circuit to give overvoltage protection to the portable electronic device regardless of temperature.

  • Publication number: 20130263998
    Abstract: An ultrasonic welding structure includes a welding plane and an energy-directing edge. The welding plane is formed on a first object or a second object. The energy-directing edge is formed on the first object or the second object and corresponds in position to the welding plane. The welding plane is oblique to a lamination direction of an ultrasonic device. The first object and the second object are welded together by ultrasonic welding which requires laminating the first object to the second object in the lamination direction so as for the energy-directing edge to exert a contact pressure upon the welding plane. Due to the welding plane and the energy-directing edge, ultrasonic welding thus performed requires less welding area and alignment structure than are taught by the prior art and is conducive to miniaturization of mobile electronic products.
